Voleri is a port and residential area on the left bank of the Daugava between Iļģuciems and Spilve, where a row of one- and two-storey houses along the river took shape in the 1930s, surrounded by port, warehouse and industrial sites. There is little housing here, so on this page homes and workplaces matter equally.
Homes along the Daugava
In a one- or two-storey house the work is done on site: the furniture stays in the room, and nothing has to be carried up or down the stairs. If the house has an older piece that has lost its label, send a close-up of the fabric.
One two-seater sofa (from €35) does not reach the minimum order, so add an armchair (from €20), cushions or a mattress. If you only need chairs, six dining chairs (from €7 each) and a pouffe also reach that sum. More: sofa cleaning in Voleri and mattress cleaning.
If the furniture has been in water
The Daugava and low-lying ground are part of daily life here, so it is worth knowing what to do if water does get into the house. This is not a claim that your property is at risk.
A sofa or mattress that has been in water is a different thing from a stain. Upholstered furniture may be hard to dry completely, and drying a soaked mattress before mould starts is almost impossible. Flood water is dirty, so for such furniture the honest answer is often that it has to be replaced.
Before ordering anything, take a photo of the furniture and write how high the water was and for how long. The specialist will tell you whether cleaning makes sense. More: furniture cleaning after a flood.
Cleaning may reduce a water smell if it is on the surface. If the moisture has been in the filling, the smell may stay.
The first thing to do if furniture has got soaked
- Lift it out If possible, move the furniture to a dry room that can be aired. If you cannot, raise it on pallets.
- Blot it Take off the cushions and blot the surface with towels. Do not sit on a wet sofa.
- Get the air moving Open the windows, if the air outside is not damper, and let the air move. The US Environmental Protection Agency states that fans and a dehumidifier speed up drying.
- Make a note Take a photo of the water level marks and write how long ago it happened.
If there is already mould on the furniture, the Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) advises putting such textile items in a sealed bag. Mould over about 9 m² or in the building structure calls for a specialist, and that is not a furniture cleaning job.
Port and warehouse workplaces
Voleri has the port, logistics, warehouses and production, and such places have offices, staff rooms and visitor chairs. A chair sat on in work clothes may pick up a different kind of dirt from an ordinary office chair. If you know this, mention it in the form: grease and oil on fabric are a different matter from dust.
For the work, see office chair cleaning and furniture cleaning for businesses. An office chair costs from €10, and for larger volumes we set the price by agreement.
A machine oil stain may stay. Solvents can damage upholstery foam, so we promise nothing for a warehouse chair until the fabric has been seen.
Access in Voleri
Access is along Daugavgrīvas šoseja and the port approach roads, and in some zones it is restricted. If the site is in the port area, write in the form how to get in: whether a pass is needed and who will meet the specialist at the gate. For a house, the exact address and where to stop are enough.
Price and travel
Travel in Voleri is included. The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. The price depends on size, fabric, soiling and smell, and we agree it before the work. All prices: prices.
Wear, tears and old oil may stay. The specialist will tell you from a photo what to expect.
If a house by the river stands empty for a long time
In an unheated room upholstered furniture may take on a smell. First air the room and look at the back of any furniture standing against an outside wall.
If the smell stays and the furniture has no patches, cleaning may help, but we do not promise the smell will disappear completely. If you see mould, the furniture and the cause of the damp have to be assessed together. More: mould in a mattress.
What changes if the site is a workplace
In a workplace the schedule matters. Write at which hours the room is free and whether the chairs can be out of use for a while after cleaning. Airing depends on the room: in a warehouse office with a small window, furniture will dry differently than in a room with good air movement.
A staff room sofa costs the same as an ordinary sofa, from €35 for a two-seater, and a dining chair from €7. If there are many chairs in one place, we set the price by agreement.
